Newcastle United’s League Cup third-round tie against AFC Wimbledon has been moved to St. James’ Park and rescheduled for October 1st due to extensive flooding at Wimbledon’s Plough Lane stadium.
Results for: AFC Wimbledon
Walsall travels to Cherry Records Stadium on the final matchday of the League Two campaign with a slim chance of securing a playoff spot. The Saddlers need a significant win against AFC Wimbledon and favorable results from other matches. Wimbledon’s playoff hopes were dashed last week, guaranteeing their presence in the fourth tier for the third consecutive season. Walsall, sitting three points behind seventh-placed Barrow and facing a goal difference disadvantage, can only hope for a playoff spot. Wimbledon, despite the missed opportunities, has made progress this season, earning more points than the previous campaign and remaining unbeaten in their last two home league fixtures. Walsall, on the other hand, must overcome a significant goal difference gap and rely on other results to keep their playoff aspirations alive. Both teams have injury concerns, with Wimbledon missing key players like Ryan McLean and Armani Little. Walsall also has several players out injured, including Harry Williams and Oisin McEntee. With Wimbledon having no pressure and Walsall facing an uphill battle, the match could see a relaxed Dons side against a potentially tense Saddlers team.
